Are you sure you wasn't suffering the server boundary PSG deactivation bug?

Yep. I equipped the PSG just before I had someone attack me.

total hit - (reduction from PSG + redction from armor) from the combat log did not equal the the number above my head. This was with mabari on as the armor so there was no capping involved.

What was the mob you were fighting? According to Jaato if the weapon used against you is AP1 or higher the PSG is totally bypassed and doesn't follow the normal rules of armour piercing, though I haven't really tested this myself, I've seen other situations where you'd expect AP to apply and it hasn't, which match Jaato's faq.

The only other thing I can think of that it might be stat shifting.. apparently this is still happening, though on a much reduced basis.

Keep in mind that PSGs were only fixed in pub 8.

PSGs have always to some degree worked for me. If you disregard the shiftingbug and need to reequip earlier then they have worked perfectly.

Each time I have used one the damage has been significantly reduced, both in log and above my head. Synthsteak also stacks with all it seems, just that it is applied before the damage takes place so it looks funny in the combatlog.

Shift stats were fixed in 8. But if they showed the resists they they were suppose to protect.

Remember, I was seeing that the PSG blocked dmg in the combat log.
